Now I'm trying to rebuild MySQL. I did the "yum install mysql" no problem. However... [root at 13gems old]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start-bash: /etc/init.d/mysqld: No such file or directory What do? Also, where is the data usually stored? The server co. backed that up, but I don't know which file it would be.
